The U.S. Postal Service is opening a Macon County’s first Village Post Office in Bevier.

The Village Post Office concept was introduced last year and is intended to serve areas that are not currently serviced by a post office or where hours are being reduced.

Cindy Bolles, manager of Post Office operations for the Postal Service and Melinda Masten, branch manager at the Bank of New Cambria, will officially open the new postal center in a ceremony and ribbon-cutting at 11 a.m. Friday.

The village post offices are operated by local businesses contracting with the Postal Service. They offer a range of postal products and services including stamps and flat-rate packaging.

The VPO will be located at 1003 State Highway C and will have regular hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday.
